      The best defense is avoidance. To that end, a personal time-travel / prognostication device that could both predict danger and chronoport you back to before danger was imminent would be the ultimate defense, though suppose not strictly a "weapon".

        We do? What is wrong with a baseball bat? Or a sock filled with quarters?

          Held in hand. Point. "Shoot".

            Both require a lot more effort to stop a threat and can be captured and disarm you at their effective range.

                Magical aura that reads intentions and zaps people. Diablo 2 paladin auras essentially.😺

                        Something that makes me disappear instantly and teleports me to the pub down the street. Cold beer is better than hot fight.

                            This is why I have cannons loaded with grapeshot in every room of my house. Never know when I'll need to remove a thief from existence.

                                    A tank full of sharks and gloves that dispense a sticky concentrated chum mixture with each hit. Get a couple good body blows in, knock them into the water, let nature (+/-) take its course.

                                        Temporary blinding LED flash weapon, stink bombs, vomiting, reciting the Captain Ahab monologue from Moby Dick where he's telling them to split their lungs with blood and thunder and crack their oars and backs.

                                          Ordinary pajamas of “No, you!” That automagically protect you. Oh, some thought they would shoot you? Surprise! They get shot instead.
